that the last episodes say that Lindsey was adopted? It was just a bad throwaway joke about Showtime, it doesn't make any sense. I refuse to think of them as anything other than brother and sister, unless the movie ret-cons it and gives a better explanation.

Spoiler:

I thought they only did that so Maebe and George Michael wouldn't be biological cousins

Spoiler:

I'm pretty sure they didn't want to, what with Howard mentioning how the american version of Les Cousins Dangereux had the cousins not being biologically related, and then talking about that being a cop out (something like that).

i think you're kind of retarded

Really? I haven't seen the episode in a while, so forgive me if I'm a bit shaky, but how can you explain:
1) That nobody ever noticed the age difference that would have been blatantly obvious or the fact that they suddenly got another kid, which she somehow considers less noticeable than her not getting pregnant again.
2) That Lucille actually thought she could get away with it, she's not stupid and everything else points to her being even more cleverly calculating than we originally thought
3) Adopting someone to spite a rival company is an extremely unsatisfactory motive
4) That she's willing to accept the "shame" to spite Buster with Annyong, but not the Sitwells
Not really a logical reason, but it makes her character entirely too evil for me.

Sorry to get all nerdy list on you, but it bothers me so much because I'm easily annoyed by these things and because everything else fits so well (a few things do stretch it), so this sticks out a lot. Unless you're saying that that *is* how everyone else sees it and I should have realized that. I can only say to that that I haven't met many other AD fans.

I like some of the jokes that came out of it (porkchop), but I can only see it as an impulsive last minute jab at Fox/Showtime that they didn't fully consider. If I'm wrong, please, enlighten me, I would love to be able to remove a stain from one of my favorite shows.

1. Three years is not a very noticeable difference at their age. Also, in case you are retarded (you are), Lucille taunted her for being big for her age (when she was normal sized for someone three years older)

2. get away with...adoption?
3. the point is that these people have little to no redeeming qualities about them, ESPECIALLY lucille, WHO LATER ON IN LIFE ADOPTS SOMEONE TO SPITE HER OWN SON
4. what the hell are you even going on about

yes, and then like two minutes after that when they're making out howard says "OH BY THE WAY THEY MAY NOT BE BIOLOGICAL COUSINS"

the whole lindsay thing is derived from the season finale of the second season, dude. they didn't leave anything hanging when they ended it

Just like after you know about MR F, all the previous things make a ton of sense

Or all the references to Buster losing a hand well in advance of it happening

Or all the references about GOB and Steve Holt before it "happens"

They don't just pull things out of their ass

also lindsay while looking at a childhood picture of herself:
"Look at the beak on that bird"

One of my favorite gags is the first episode of Season 2 where Michael says "We're just a bunch of people who share a nose... and Aunt Lindsay"
"Wait, Aunt Lindsay's not my real aunt!?"
"Not her real nose..."

And then the next scene George Michael is staring at her nose and she like turns away

1. Three years is not a very noticeable difference at their age. [/quote
Yes, it is, there's a HUGE difference between a 3 year old and a six year old, a 10 year old and a 13 year old, a 13 year old and a 16 year old. Don't you remember the porkchop flashback? She was huge. As adults it's different, but that's not what we're talking about.

Also, in case you are retarded (you are), Lucille taunted her for being big for her age (when she was normal sized for someone three years older)

Yes, but that doesn't mean that nobody else would notice, which is why it breaks down for me. You can't just pretend someone is three years younger than they really are all through life and expect everyone to buy it.

2. get away with...adoption?

As I recall it, the stated reason for her lying about Lindsey's age was because she didn't want to admit she adopted her, instead of just admitting that she was adopted and agknowledging the age difference. She thought it was embarassing to have everyone know she adopted, I don't remember exactly why, but I'm pretty sure it's because she thought it would look bad if everyone knew they adopted her to spite the Sitwells.

3. the point is that these people have little to no redeeming qualities about them, ESPECIALLY lucille, WHO LATER ON IN LIFE ADOPTS SOMEONE TO SPITE HER OWN SON

Yes, but saying that she is a bad person and does not like the Sitwells is not a satisfactory motive, for me at least because there doesn't seem to be any logical reason why she would go that far.

4. what the hell are you even going on about

If she was so ashamed of admitting to adopting before that she was willing to royally screw up Lindsey's life in almost every aspect, then why was she willing to admit to adopt Annyong later?
